It's all Chelsea fans, or any team's fans, really want to see and that is for their side to show some fight, desire and ambition to work hard to get a victory.

That is something that has been lacking from the Blues quite a bit this season, but you couldn't say that in their 2-1 extra-time FA Cup quarter-final win at Leicester City yesterday.

It might not have been vintage Chelsea, but the most important thing was getting that win and getting into the semi-final for the second year in a row under Antonio Conte.

The Blues had a rough week, being knocked out of the Champions League to Barcelona on Wednesday night and when Jamie Vardy equalised yesterday after more defensive errors, the Blues could easily have collpsed.

But they showed some mental toughness, some of that winning mentality that has been instilled in them over the years and got through the encounter courtesy of a rare Pedro header.

That is the sort of spirit Chelsea will have to continue to show for the rest of the season now to try to clinch a Champions League place for next season and the FA Cup crown.

Conte seems to have something of a problem when it comes to one of his summer signings in Tiemoue Bakayoko. Out of all the ones that came through the door, the Frenchman has probably been the most disappointing one so far.

The 23-year-old came to the Blues off the back of a stunning season with Monaco, but he hasn't lived up to that potential yet and another start yesterday was met with another disappointing performance.

Conte used the excuse that he brought the midfielder off at half-time because the fact he was on a yellow card already, but it could well have just been because of his performance.

So what happens to Bakayoko now? He has get his confidence back, but the only way that might happen is if he plays more and starts to play better. He looks so lost at what he is supposed to be doing and how he should play. He needs to be given some freedom and to get back to his Ligue 1 levels.

Morata’s redemption

Chelsea fans, Conte and Alvaro Morata had certainly been waiting for quite some time for the for the Spaniard to finally get back in the goals and when it came around it came with some real style.

The perfect break, the perfect run, the perfect ball from Willian and then the perfect finish from the striker meant that he finally got his first goal since Boxing Day.

This is the last chance for the Blues to get some silverware this season and another chance for Conte to win his first ever cup competition as a manager.

Chelsea can't afford to let this opportunity slip and while things might not have gone so well in the league, they need something happy to finish the season on.

5,148 away fans

It might have been absolutely freezing in Leicester, but that didn't stop more than 5000 Chelsea fans brave the snow and ice from the 'Mini Beast from the East' to watch their team in action.

You could think that some would be deterred due to the poor performances and the slip in the way the side have gone about some matches. But they were out massively in force in Barcelona and then once again at the King Power Stadium.

The Blues made their appreciation known to the supporters at the end of the game, as you can see above, while the Blues fans will no doubt make their voices heard when Chelsea take on Spurs on April 1.
